Heartbleed OpenSSL Bug Update

Posted by Hans de Ruiter

By now you should probably have heard about the “heartbleed” bug in OpenSSL. Well, this website is hosted on a server running OpenSSL. Fortunately, the web hosting provider is very quick with responding to such issues When I tested this website for the bug, I was pleased to see that it was immune.

While it is highly unlikely that this website's SSL certificate or any data was compromised, I have replaced the SSL certificate (complete with new private key) as a precautionary measure. It is recommended that you change your password now; not just on this website, but on other websites too. This can be done by visiting the “Forgot password” page, and following the instructions.
